abstract

We consider Lorentzian correlators of local operators. In perturbation theory, singularities occur when we can draw a position-space Landau diagram with null lines. In theories with gravity duals, we can also draw Landau diagrams in the bulk. We argue that certain singularities can arise only from bulk diagrams, not from boundary diagrams. As has been previously observed, these singularities are a clear diagnostic of bulk locality. We analyze some properties of these perturbative singularities and discuss their relation to the OPE and the dimensions of double-trace operators. In the exact nonperturbative theory, we expect no singularity at these locations. We prove this statement in 1+1 dimensions by CFT methods.

Surgery and statistics in 3d gravity

hep-th · 2025-06-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Introduces RMT surgery to relate off-shell 3D gravity partition functions to CFT spectral statistics via Euclidean wormholes with four-punctured sphere and trumpet boundaries.

Amplitudes in self-dual (higher-spin) theories

hep-th · 2026-04-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

All self-dual theories with or without higher-spin fields possess nontrivial tree-level amplitudes in Kleinian or complex Minkowski kinematics, completing the celestial analogue of the higher-spin duality.
